After the Hype

This week we're joined by Mackenzie Peykov to talk about the 1929 "Best Picture Winner" The Broadway Melody, which is a bit of a step down thanks to the advent of sound. We commiserate over the flaws and delve into the history. It's a great episode that you won't want to miss. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN DOING? BRYAN - Friday the 13th: Part 9: Jason Goes to Hell CHEWIE - Stranger Things JON - De...

This week it's just the four of us talking about Edgar Wright's latest film BABY DRIVER. We go through it all, praising what worked and discussing the parts that had us less than enthused. It's quite the fun ride so steal yourself for the next hour and join us on a criminally fun look at the film that's been kicking around Wright's noggin for quite some time! WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN DOING? BRYAN - Big...

QUEST CHOICE! We wrap up our spooktastic month with a deep dive into the comedically devious minds of Taika Waititi and Jemaine Clement who brought us What We Do In the Shadows.

This week we're joined by Kristy Lowrey to talk about the first film in the DARK UNIVERSE franchise - THE MUMMY. Guys, it's an awful piece of hot garbage, wasting what could have been an interesting take on the Universal Monsters. We managed to find little things here and there that didn't completely suck, but overall we were thoroughly disappointed. Come join us in the misery that is this reboot!...

This week we're joined by special guest Graham Skipper (Beyond the Gates, Almost Human) to talk about the wonderful and violent Sion Sono film WHY DON'T YOU PLAY IN HELL.

Watch it if you haven't seen it and then come back and listen to us gnash our teeth in glee at this film about filmmaking......

We're here to talk about Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, and special guests Bryan Newton (Rick & Morty / Teen Titans Go!) and Samantha Garrison are here to help.

What do Skullcrawlers, King Kong, and Vietnam have in common? This podcast! That's right, folks. We've got ourselves a monster movie masquerading as a war film, and it's quite the glorious ride.

BRYAN - Dark Knight Metal JON - The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild CH...

This week it's just the four of us talking about Ben Wheatley's under-seen and (in some of our opinions) underrated FREE FIRE.

Face your past. Choose this week's podcast where we talk about T2 TRAINSPOTTING, Danny Boyle's follow-up to the 90s drug-filled cinematic punch to the gut. We're joined by Elliot Campos, who gives us a hilarious breakdown of the plot and nearly breaks the podcast in the process. We talk about getting older and wrestle with the message of the movie. It's an interesting discussion and you won't want...

IT'S MORPHIN' TIME! We're joined this week by special guest Christopher Hayden and friend of the show Jason Blagman to talk about the 2017 reboot of POWER RANGERS. The movie gets a lot right, but also makes some creative decisions that have us scratching our heads. We talk about the importance of being true to the spirit of the original show, and the inherent flaw in trying to appeal to both fans...

It's Christmas in July! Or rather, it's the summer version of our secret santa movie exchange. We had so much fun doing this last time that we brought Christopher Ortiz back to do it again. Our pal Ryan James assigned us a person and we gave them a movie we thought they would enjoy. Here's what we came up with: ASSIGNED TO BRYAN - "KUNG FU HUSTLE (2004)" ASSIGNED TO CHEWIE - "BATTLE...

And so we come to the end of our ORIGINS month, this time highlighting the introduction of Ryan James and talking about Captain America: The Winter Soldier. Join us as we lament the fate of Bucky Barnes and realize that the spy thriller genre suits Cap'n well. It's a great look back at a fun episode and an equally fun movie. You won't want to miss this one.

Judge, jury, and executioner? Yeah, that's our DREDD episode, and this is our podcast ORIGINS for Chewie. Bask in the glory of what will one day be considered the best episode introduction of all time.

Our ORIGINS month continues with the introduction of Jonathan, who would become a much beloved co-host. That's right - MUCH BELOVED (Jon wrote this). We talk Prometheus, which is fitting because Alien: Covenant came out recently and it was terrible (Jon wrote this, Bryan agrees). Enjoy this look back!

We're taking a break from your regularly scheduled episodes to bring you the origin stories of each of the hosts of After The Hype, starting with the very first episode...or the second episode? Well, the second episode but labeled as the first? Anyway, hosts Bryan and Nick talk video games, specifically DEAD SPACE.

Hey guys! This week we're joined by special guest Lawrence Thunell to talk MOONLIGHT from director Barry Jenkins. This is also the last week before we go on a month hiatus. Don't worry, though! We've got some fun episodes planned during this time, which we'll talk about more at the end of this episode. There's a lot here and we get into some good stuff about the movie so you won't want to miss it!...

Loosen those vocal chords and get your dancing shoes ready because we're talking about Damien Chazelle's LA LA LAND, starring Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone.

Bryan gets the honor of defending Alien 3, and Ryan finds himself at the mercy of Prometheus. Jonathan has to...
